A Rusty Stretched Pepple
We have a unique geological feature at Distant Hill Gardens called Stretched Pebbles. They form by being flattened by pressure and heat and then stretched by movement. The original "pebble" contained a lot of iron, hence the rusty coloring.
Here is a photo showing a cross-section of a Stretched Pebble.
And here is a link to my blog about Stretched Pebbles.
